WICHITA'S BOOM.
From tho vmporla Daily News.

From tho Tmporia Daily News.
We notice in many Of our state cx-
changes snecring remarks to the effect that
Wichita's boom has about played out, and
that the Windy Wonder" will soon be a
place where fearful retribution will have
to be paid for OVERRIDING things. Now,
this is the shecrest nonsense Not only is
1t nonsense, but it is the rankest kind of
treason and fOolishness. not only to the
state of Kansas, but to every little hamlet
and village in the entire state Should
these unkind and ungenerous re-
marks become fulfilled in the
future, the very men who make
them would he the first to sorrow over the
calamity. for. combat it who will. a mis-
fortune to the thriving. go ahead, magnifi-
cent city of Wichita would be a misfor-
tune to the state ut large and would more
or less affect every other city within our
borders. Therefore, We say boom Wich-
tia, as well as our OWE dear city of En-
pOrla, and let us see or hear no more sneer-
ing or nnkind filings at any of our grow
ing cities, for a dispariagmcnt of one is an
insult and injury TO all. At least
give Wichita her due Were it
pot for her and her enterprising citizens,
many town in Kansas that is now enjoy
ing such season of prosperity rs she
never enjoyed before, would be still rub
bing her eyes and in half comatose con
dition. In unity there is strength. Let
US be united on the one point that there is
no other such a prosperous place in the
universe rs the state of Kansas, and that
every city within her borders is enjoying
the biggest kind Of a big boom. At the
same time Emporia claims to have
better prospects. better climate. better
farming land. better people, better school
facilities, better railroad facilities, better
water works. better city lots for less mon
ey, better chance for laborers-in fact, Is
the best placein Kansas-and we can prove
1t to any unprejudiced mind Yet We
still claim Wichita is first class place and
enjoys Il magnificent boom, which we hope
and believe will not be injured in the least
hy the sneers of snail minded people.

WOMAN AND HARMONY IN POLITICS

Sound the fungus, comb down the ful

This is progressive age and man is Il
be elevated by forcing the ballot upor
women, from which only harmony and q
higher and purer civilization is to spring
Woman by her vote Is lift man out of the
gutter without soiling her skirts, even il
she is compelled to substitute brooches fol
petticoats. The political caucus is to be
transformed into prayer meeting and con.
vcntions into general love feasts. By con-
verting our household dieties into swagger-
ing amazons and our daughters into loafers
and CAD abouts, society is to be bettered,
politics purified and above all harmony is
to come to take the place of turmoil
How often have we been assured by the
advocates of woman suffrage that the un-
seemly political fights, the hard words and
the ward rows, were to become matters of
the past when women should be made to
bear her share Of the political response
bilitics. How it has been dinned into our
ears that women were so much superior to
men that they would never resort to the
methods OF the male politician if they were
running things; that women were all
of one mind and would be guided by a
single impulse, high and holy, to wipe out
intemperance, to frown down corruption,
to alleviate woes and elevate humanity.
OF course all this is so, and Of course
the EAGLE is one-sided and pigheaded
whenever it dares to assert that politics,
like tar, will stick as closely to a white
tender skin as TO rough coarse one. But
will some woman sutfragist tell us the
occasion of woman's political meeting

impending storms and strifes the forerun-

dawned with the advent of the Cougars,

Oh, there is fun aheadl But it will be
such fun as results from tearing down
affairs, as comes OF the mutilation of the

SNAKES AND GOLD.
A SOMEWHAT INCREDIBLE STORY OF 4
WESTERN HUNTERS EXPERIENCE.

A correspondent writes from Routt,
Co.., to the Denver Tribune:
A hunter, who has hunted and mined
| from Arizona to the Yellowstone, and who
is highly esteemed for truth and veracitv.
| was telling me that he had the other day
made most remarkable discovery, and
that he had seen gold that would put the
| United States treasury at discount. The
discovery was made in the mountains not
more than ten miles from the government
bridge over Yampa river IN Routt county
| He said that when he was on top of one
Ofthe mountains seen from the bridge, that
he saw at the bottom of a cliff. that he was
peerng over, that the ground was smooth
and clear as if deer or bears had been in
the habit of resting and summing them
selves through the heat of the early spring
days.
Being anxious to get deer or have a
fight with bear, he descended by cir
cuitous route to the foot of the cliff
Peering cautiously around for game, he
was somewhat startled at hearing the
rattle of snake. Looking about he saw
large numbers of them lying around, while
there was a constant stream of them going
into round hole in the rock near the bot
tom of the cliff
Being anxious to destroy as many of the
reptiles as he possibly could. he procured
torked stick and placing the fork over
the neck of one of the largest. he pinioned
him to the ground, then tying half dozen
sticks of giant powder to his tail, set slow
match to it and let the snake go. After
seeing his snakeship 60 into the hole, the
hunter retreated to safe distance to await
developments. He did not have long to
wait. First there was a slight trembling
OF the ground, then burst that shook the
mountain like an earthquake, and with
that burst the whole side of the cliff top
Piled off and fell to the ground, and up
went more snakes than crew ever thought
OF by either CULVER or Baron Munchausen.
The face of the rock was honeycombed
with round holes, out of which snakes
were pouring like water through knot
hole, as long as the hunter stayed, and he
stayed long enough to see many thousands
seething and Kissing in their rage and
agony. when he became weary of the sight
and left, but not until he had seen that the
whole face of the cliff was covered with
solid gold.
